About Purely
Purely is BMMI's own canned range, covering tuna, beans, chickpeas and vegetables. It belongs to the group's Global Sourcing and Supply arm rather than to its supermarkets, which means it sits at the consumer end of a chain BMMI runs itself: the division buys raw material in producing countries and washes, sorts, grades, dries, mills and packs it before it reaches a label.

About the owner: BMMI
BMMI is a publicly listed company headquartered in Al Hamriya, Bahrain, founded in 1883. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control, and it is listed as Bahrain Bourse: BMMI.
BMMI is a Bahraini retail, distribution and contract-services group that traces itself to 1883, when the British merchant house Gray Paul opened a branch in Bahrain. It was renamed Gray Mackenzie after a 1936 merger, joined the Inchcape group in 1955, and became Bahrain Maritime & Mercantile International in 1980 when Inchcape brought in local shareholders; Inchcape sold out in 1999, leaving it wholly Bahraini-owned, and the legal name was shortened to the acronym in 2010. It reported net profit of BD 7.5 million for 2025 and runs five segments — retail, wholesale, contract supply, hospitality, and investments and shipping — across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Djibouti, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya and the United States.
